Recently, the performance of home-use medical measurement equipment has improved, and it has become possible to accurately measure various biological data of the user, acquire the measured biological data using a smartphone, etc., and easily refer to it. It's becoming For example, electrocardiographs, sphygmomanometers, and heart rate monitors, which are small and portable, are on the market as medical measurement devices, and users can easily obtain these devices and use them in their daily lives. It is becoming possible to acquire and refer to one's own biometric data during transmission.

In order to keep their own health in good condition, users of these devices should keep their biometric data values within the appropriate ranges recommended by experts such as doctors for each type of biometric data. It can help you rethink your life.

In addition, in daily life, when the environment changes, biometric data may fluctuate and the physical condition of the user may deteriorate. For example, the room temperature of the toilet or dressing room in the bathroom is significantly lower than the room temperature of other rooms, and especially in winter, when going from a warm room to the toilet or dressing room, the user's blood pressure rises sharply due to the temperature difference. I have something to do.

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses that the symptom level for each disease is predicted based on a weather forecast, and health warnings are sent to members whose symptom level is expected to worsen.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-50212

In Patent Document 1, since the symptom level is only predicted according to the weather forecast, data related to the environment other than the weather forecast is not referred to. Therefore, for example, the influence of biological data due to environmental changes indoors cannot be considered. In addition to weather forecasts, it is not possible to determine the environment in which the user's biometric data is affected, and use values corresponding to changes in environmental conditions and biometric data such as blood pressure to help maintain the user's health. do not have.

The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above. One aspect of the present invention is a measurement prompting device for prompting measurement of biometric data corresponding to changes in environmental data when the user's environment changes. It is intended to provide a method and program.

The present disclosure employs the following configurations in order to solve the above-described problems.

That is, the measurement prompting device according to the first aspect of the present disclosure includes a first acquisition unit that acquires environmental data related to a user's external environment; and an instruction unit that instructs to measure the biometric data when it is determined that the environmental data satisfies the condition. .

In the above configuration, the measurement facilitating device acquires environmental data regarding the user's external environment (ie, the surrounding environment surrounding the user). The environmental data may be any physical quantity related to the external environment, such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, brightness, ambient volume, and air quality. The first determination unit determines whether or not the biometric data of the user is likely to be affected by changes in environmental data by some method. Any biological data may be used as long as it is data related to a living body, and includes blood pressure data, electrocardiographic data, and heart rate data. The first determination unit determines whether or not a change in environmental data affects the user for each user. There are many methods of determination, and some examples are shown in the description of aspects below. The instruction unit instructs to measure the biometric data when the first determination unit determines that the biometric data satisfies a pre-stored condition indicating that the biometric data is susceptible to change. The instruction unit displays, for example, please measure blood pressure on a display screen or the like, and instructs blood pressure measurement.

Specifically, in the measurement prompting device, for example, the first acquisition unit acquires temperature data indicating that the current temperature around the user has dropped rapidly (for example, about 10 degrees), and based on this temperature data, Assume that the first determination unit determines that the user's blood pressure data satisfies the pre-stored condition that the user's blood pressure data is susceptible to this temperature change. In this case, the instruction unit instructs to measure blood pressure data, and the user starts measurement with the sphygmomanometer in response to this instruction, or the watch-type sphygmomanometer automatically starts measurement in response to this instruction. do.

As described above, according to the measurement prompting device according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, when an environmental change to which the user is easily affected occurs, the user is instructed to measure biometric data corresponding to the environmental change. Since it can be urged, it can be useful for the user's own health management. Further, according to this measurement prompting device, it is possible to specify what kind of environmental change affects which biometric data for each user. Therefore, the user can quickly measure this biometric data when an environmental change affecting his/her own biometric data occurs. relationship can be obtained.

Further, the measurement prompting device according to the first aspect of the present disclosure acquires environmental data related to the user's external environment, and the environmental data is stored in advance indicating that the user's biometric data is susceptible to change. A device capable of executing a program for determining whether a condition is satisfied and instructing to measure the biological data when it is determined that the condition indicating that the biological data is susceptible to change is satisfied. For example, it may be a wearable device (for example, a smart phone, a wristwatch-type wearable terminal), an activity meter, or a stationary device (for example, a personal computer). Also, the measurement prompting device may or may not be worn by the user, as long as it can acquire environmental data. For example, a user wears a measuring device capable of measuring or acquiring environmental data, and the measurement promotion device acquires environmental data (or temperature, which is one type of environmental data) from this device, and executes the above program. may be executed.

The measurement prompting device according to the second aspect of the present disclosure further includes a calculator that calculates the condition based on the correlation between the measured environmental data and the measured biological data.

In the above configuration, the measurement prompting device calculates the conditions based on the correlation between the environmental data measured in advance and the biological data measured in advance. Conditions can be set in advance. Therefore, according to this configuration, since the conditions are calculated using the actually measured data for each user, it is possible to calculate the conditions based on the characteristics of each user.

In the measurement prompting device according to the third aspect of the present disclosure, the calculator calculates a variation amount of the measured environmental data and a variation of the measured biometric data that varies in synchronization with the variation amount of the measured environmental data. and an associating unit for associating a quantity with an amount that satisfies the condition that the associated amount of variation in the measured environmental data matches the amount of variation in the environmental data acquired by the first acquiring unit within a certain range. and a setting unit for setting

In the above configuration, the associating unit included in the calculating unit includes the amount of change in the measured environmental data measured in the past and the measured amount of change in the measured environmental data that fluctuates synchronously during the measurement period. and the amount of variation in measured biometric data. For the data on the amount of variation in the measured environmental data and the amount of variation in the measured biological data, for example, the amount of variation in the measured biological data (also referred to as the amount of change) is set with a threshold for each type of biological data. Then, attention is focused only on environmental data corresponding to biometric data that has changed by more than this threshold, and if this environmental data is linked to biometric data and changes by an amount of variation greater than or equal to the threshold, synchronization is performed. and determines that the measured environmental data has changed, and associates the amount of change in the measured environmental data with the amount of change in the measured biological data. and setting that the variation amount of the measured environmental data associated by the associating unit matches the variation amount of the environmental data acquired by the first acquisition unit within a certain range as the condition is satisfied. can be done. As a result, by referring to the data on the amount of variation in the measured environmental data and the amount of variation in the measured biometric data that are associated as varying synchronously, the When the environmental data is acquired by the first acquiring unit, the first determining unit determines that the environmental data satisfies the condition, and determines that the biometric data corresponding to the environmental data is susceptible to changes in the environment. become.

Therefore, according to the measurement prompting device according to the third aspect of the present disclosure, the setting unit selects the environmental data whose amount of variation is equal to or greater than a certain value (threshold value) from among the environmental data and the biological data measured in the past. Based on this, it is possible to set a condition for determining whether or not the current biometric data of the user is likely to change with the current environmental data, based on the past measurement data.

The measurement prompting device according to the fourth aspect of the present disclosure further includes a reception unit that receives details of changes in physical condition recognized by the user, and the associating unit stores details of changes in physical condition and measured biological data. Based on the amount of change, the amount of change in the measured environmental data, the details of the change in physical condition, and the amount of change in the measured biological data are associated.

In the above configuration, when the user becomes aware of a change in physical condition, the content of the change is acquired by the measurement promotion device via the reception unit, and the association unit receives the content of the change in physical condition and the amount of variation in the measured biometric data. By associating the measured environmental data with the amount of change in the measured environment data, the influence of the environment, including the physical condition of the user, on the user can be associated. Therefore, the subjective awareness of the user's physical condition and the measured objective biometric data can be associated with the environmental data, so that it is possible to determine the influence of environmental data fluctuations on the user in a more multifaceted manner. be possible.

In the measurement prompting device according to the fifth aspect of the present disclosure, a table showing the correspondence between the type of biological data and the measured environmental data that satisfies the conditions based on the correlation between the measured environmental data and the measured biological data is created. A third acquisition unit is further included for acquisition, and the first determination unit determines whether or not the environmental data acquired by the first acquisition unit satisfies the condition by referring to the table.

In the above configuration, a table is acquired that shows the correspondence between the type of biometric data and the measured environmental data that affects the biometric data of the user (that is, satisfies the above conditions). , the first determination unit refers to the table and determines that the measured environmental data listed in the table affects the corresponding biological data, that is, the acquired environmental data satisfies the condition. Therefore, by referring to the table, the first determination unit can determine whether the biometric data of the user is affected by changes in the environment caused by the environmental data acquired by the first acquisition unit.

Therefore, according to the measurement prompting device according to the fifth aspect of the present disclosure, when there is measured environmental data corresponding to the table, it is determined that the corresponding biological data is susceptible to change due to the influence of this environment. can be done. In this way, it is possible to easily determine whether biometric data is susceptible to changes in the corresponding environment simply by referring to the table. Since it only determines whether or not there is environmental data corresponding to the table, it is expected that the computational resources of the CPU will be small.

In the measurement prompting device according to the sixth aspect of the present disclosure, the table includes, for each measured environmental data, the table for each user based on the amount of change in the measured environmental data and the amount of change in the measured biometric data. is determined by

In the above configuration, for example, if the amount of variation in the measured environmental data and the amount of variation in the measured biometric data synchronously fluctuate and relate to each user, the fluctuation in the environmental data Decide to include it in the table as it affects the variability of the biometric data. In other words, when the amount of variation in environmental data exceeds a certain level, if the amount of variation in biometric data is greater than or equal to a certain value (threshold value) in response to changes in environmental data, It is determined that the biological data has changed, and the measured environmental data and the measured biological data are included in a table in association with each other. Also, since the amount of change in the environmental data may depend on its numerical value (for example, the numerical value before the change), it is possible to include not only the amount of change but also the numerical value in the table for determination. Furthermore, since the amount of variation in biometric data may change depending on the numerical value, the threshold value for the amount of variation may be changed depending on the numerical value.

Therefore, according to the measurement prompting device according to the sixth aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to set a table based on the amount of variation between the actual measured environmental data and the measured biological data for each user. Since the table is set based on the actual data for each user, it is possible to create a table that suits the user.

The measurement prompting device according to the seventh aspect of the present disclosure further includes a second determination unit that determines whether the user is indoors, and the first acquisition unit determines whether the user is outdoors or indoors. Change the environment data to retrieve.

In the above configuration, the second determination unit determines whether the user is outdoors or indoors, and environmental data that affects the user differs between outdoors and indoors. Change the environment data to retrieve. For example, when the first acquisition unit acquires the location information of the user and indicates that the user is outdoors, the first acquisition unit acquires outdoor data such as outside temperature and outside humidity via the Internet, and indicates that the user is indoors, indoor data measured by a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, or the like installed indoors may be acquired via short-range wireless communication or the like. Also, the first acquisition unit may acquire environmental data of whether it is outdoors or indoors, and the first determination unit may change the environmental data to be used depending on whether the user is outdoors or indoors.

In the measurement prompting device according to the eighth aspect of the present disclosure, when the first determination unit determines that the user is indoors, the environment data is installed indoors based on short-range wireless communication. Environmental data is obtained from sensors, indoor environmental data is preferentially employed over outdoor environmental data, and it is determined whether the biometric data of the user is susceptible to environmental changes.

In the above configuration, when it is determined that the user is indoors, the first determination section uses the environment data acquired by the sensor or the like set indoors. Therefore, the first determination unit can change the environment data to be used depending on the user's location, and can grasp the fluctuation of the environment data that accurately reflects the user's external environment.

In the measurement prompting device according to the ninth aspect of the present disclosure, the instruction unit, when it is determined that the environmental data acquired by the first acquisition unit satisfies the condition, is in an environment where the biometric data is likely to change. Assuming that there is, an alert is notified to the corresponding user.

In the above configuration, when it is determined that the environmental data acquired by the first acquisition unit satisfies the condition (the biometric data of the user is susceptible to environmental changes), the instruction unit notifies the user to that effect. Alert and call attention. Therefore, the user can measure his/her biometric data and record the biometric data according to environmental changes.

In the measurement prompting device according to still another aspect of the present disclosure, the reception unit displays an interface for the user to execute for receiving the aware content.

In the above configuration, the reception unit of the measurement prompting device displays an interface for receiving details of changes in physical condition perceived by the user, and the user uses this interface to input details of changes in physical condition to the measurement prompting device. can do. The interface can be anything as long as the user can input data, but for example, it is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) button, for example, the user selects one or more buttons from a plurality of buttons on the GUI input to the device.

According to one aspect of the measurement prompting device, method, and program of the present invention, when an environmental change to which the user is easily affected occurs, prompting the user to measure biometric data corresponding to the environmental change, It is possible to determine the influence of environmental changes on the user's living body.

It should be noted that, in the following embodiments, the parts with the same numbers are assumed to perform the same operations, and repeated explanations will be omitted.

[overview]
First, with reference to FIG. 1, the outline of the measurement prompting device of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a measurement prompting device 100, a wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120, a server 130, a network 140, a GPS satellite 150, and a sensor 160 according to an example overview.

The measurement facilitating device 100 receives environmental data directly from sensors 160 installed outdoors and/or indoors, or obtains the environmental data via the network 140 from a server 130 that obtains and stores the environmental data. Then, when the environmental data changes, the measurement prompting device 100 determines whether or not there is a possibility that the user's biometric data will change according to the change in the environmental data. If it is determined that the user's biometric data may fluctuate, the measurement prompting device 100 instructs the user to measure the corresponding biometric data. For example, the measurement prompting device 100 determines whether the acquired environmental data satisfies a pre-stored condition indicating that the user's biological data is susceptible to changes in the environment, and if the acquired environmental data satisfies this condition. If so, determining that the user's biometric data may fluctuate, the measurement prompting device 100 instructs the user to measure biometric data corresponding to the environmental data.

The measurement facilitating device 100 obtains its own position data by some method, determines whether to obtain outdoor or indoor environmental data based on the position data, and determines whether the user is located indoors or outdoors. Obtain the desired environmental data. For example, measurement facilitator 100 receives signals from multiple GPS satellites 150 to calculate the position of measurement facilitator 100 . The user's location information is calculated not only by measurement facilitating device 100 receiving signals from GPS satellites 150, but also by measurement facilitating device 100 receiving data on location from base stations and/or wireless LAN access points. The position information may be corrected according to the data.

The measurement prompting device 100 outputs an instruction to measure the biometric data when determining that the biometric data fluctuates. For example, when the user receives this instruction, the user uses the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 to start measurement by pressing a button or the like to measure the corresponding biological data, and the measured biological data is sent to the measurement prompting device 100. Biometric data may be received and stored in association with environmental data. Biometric data associated with this environmental data may also be stored in server 130 via network 140 .

The wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 is worn by the user (or held by the user) and operated by the user to measure the user's biometric data, and transmits the biometric data to the measurement prompting device 100 . Any biological data may be used as long as it is data related to a living body, and examples thereof include electrocardiographic data, blood pressure data, and heart rate data. Biometric data may be set to be measured based on an event as well as a user's operation.

Server 130 connects to measurement facilitating device 100 via network 140 to exchange data. Server 130 accepts requests for certain types of environmental data from measurement facilitator 100 and transmits corresponding environmental data to measurement facilitator 100 via network 140 . The server 130 acquires and stores a variety of environmental data from sensors such as weather sensors installed in various locations and from companies that handle environmental data.

The environmental data stored by the server 130 may be any data related to the environment, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind force, brightness, volume (can be obtained with a smartphone or smartwatch). , air quality (air quality index (mass per unit volume of PM2.5, NO2, O3, SO2, PM10, CO, etc.) ) . Data on temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind force can be obtained from weather sites, weather-related businesses, and the like. Brightness data can be obtained by a sensor that can measure the brightness of the smartphone. The volume is noise or the like around the user, and can be measured using a microphone such as a smartphone and/or a smartwatch, for example. Also, especially in urban areas, noise is measured by local governments, etc., so volume data (noise data) may be obtained from these measurements. Air quality can be associated with an air quality index. The air quality index includes, for example, mass per unit volume of PM2.5, NO2, O3, SO2, PM10, and CO, and it can be determined that the smaller these values are, the cleaner the air is.

If the biometric data measured by the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 can be measured by the measurement prompting device 100 alone, the biometric data measured by the measurement prompting device 100 may be used. In this case, the measurement facilitating device 100 includes a device portion that calculates the biometric data of the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 . For example, when the measurement prompting device 100 is a wearable terminal device (for example, a smartphone), it usually includes a photographing device (such as a camera) and a lighting device, and can measure heart rate. Therefore, heart rate data can be calculated.

As described above, according to the measurement prompting device of this embodiment, the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 acquires the user's environmental data, and when various environmental data fluctuates, whether or not the user's biometric data fluctuates is determined, and when it is determined that the biometric data fluctuates, the measurement prompting device 100 instructs to measure the biometric data. As a result, when the environment for the user changes, it becomes possible to measure what kind of change occurs in which biometric data due to the environmental change. For this reason, it is possible to obtain data indicating which biological data changes when environmental changes occur for each user, so that it is possible to know which environmental changes should be dealt with for each user, thereby maintaining health. can help.

Obtained via the communication interface 201 .

The biometric data acquired by the biometric data acquisition unit 302 is stored in the storage unit 202 . The biological data acquisition unit 302 may store all of the measured biological data in the storage unit 202 together with the measured environmental data.

A sensor for detecting external biometric data is mounted on, for example, the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120, but the measurement prompting device 100 is equipped with these devices, and the biometric data acquisition unit 302 acquires biometric data from these devices. You may

For example, if the biological data is electrocardiographic data, the electrocardiographic data is data that indicates the electrical excitation of the heart and the temporal change in which the excitation subsides. The electric potential changes depending on the electric field. When the biological data is blood pressure data, the biological data acquisition unit 302 acquires time series data including systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

The user influence determination unit 303 receives environmental data from the environmental data acquisition unit 301 and determines whether or not the environmental data satisfies a condition indicating that the user's biometric data is susceptible to environmental changes. For example, the user impact determination unit 303 determines whether or not the environmental data varies with time (hereinafter also referred to as time variation or simply variation). biometric data is likely to be affected (also referred to as whether biometric data is susceptible to environmental changes). Affecting the biometric data typically means that the biometric data of the user deteriorates, for example, a certain value of the biometric data deviates from the proper range by a threshold value or more. The appropriate range may be stored in advance by the user influence determination unit 303 , or may be set for each user and stored in the storage unit 202 . Also, this appropriate range may be provided by the table creation unit 307 for each type of biometric data. The user influence determination unit 303 may determine from the GPS reception unit 208 whether or not the user is indoors, and change the threshold indicating the degree of deviation from the proper range depending on whether or not the user is indoors.

When the user influence determination unit 303 determines that the environmental data satisfies the condition indicating that the user's biometric data is susceptible to environmental changes, the user influence determination unit 303 instructs the instruction unit 304 to measure the biometric data. For example, the user influence determination unit 303 determines whether or not there is a high possibility that the user's biometric data will fluctuate beyond a threshold value due to the time fluctuation of the environmental data. If it is determined to be high, the biological data instructing the instruction unit 304 to measure the corresponding biological data is passed to the instruction unit 304 . This condition may be included in a table generated by the table creation unit 307 or stored in the storage unit 202, for example. The user influence determination unit 303 refers to the table and/or the storage unit 202 and determines whether or not the conditions are met.

The instruction unit 304 receives instruction data for measuring certain biological data from the user influence determination unit 303, passes the instruction data to the output device 204, and outputs the instruction data in a desired format. A user receives this output instructional data, and the user operates to measure corresponding biometric data. The user's measurement results are measured, for example, by the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 , and the measurement prompting device 100 receives the measured data via the communication interface 201 .

The physical condition receiving unit 305 receives data input by the user through the input device 203 when the user feels unwell, and stores the data in the storage unit 202 in association with the biological data and the environmental data. For this input, for example, an interface is displayed on the input device 203, and the physical condition reception unit 305 receives physical condition data indicating physical condition via the input device 203 by, for example, touching one of the options on the display. . For example, the user uses the input device 203 and the physical condition receiving unit 305 to input details such as shortness of breath, dizziness, and coughing. These contents may be displayed by the input device 203 so that the user can select them on a touch panel or the like.

The associating unit 306 correlates the measured environmental data and the measured biological data stored in the storage unit 202, and synchronizes the amount of change in the measured environmental data with the amount of change in the measured environmental data. and the amount of variation in the measured biometric data that fluctuates as a result. Further, the associating unit 306 further determines, among the measured environmental data, the measured biological data, and the physical condition data stored in the storage unit 202, the contents of the physical condition data and the amount of change in the measured biological data ( Also referred to as the amount of change), the measured environmental data, the measured biological data, and the physical condition data that are correlated with this biological data may be associated. For example, if the association unit 306 can determine that the content of the physical condition data is related to the amount of variation in the corresponding measured biological data, the association unit 306 associates these data with the measured environmental data. As an example, the physical condition of the user indicated by the physical condition data is related to the type of the measured biological data, and furthermore, the amount of variation in the measured biological data is greater than or equal to a certain value, and the variation in the measured biological data When the time and the time when the physical condition receiving unit 305 receives the user's poor physical condition are within a predetermined time, the measured environmental data, the measured biological data, and the physical condition data are associated. Regarding whether or not the user's physical condition indicated by the physical condition data is related to the type of biometric data in the association unit 306, for example, the physical condition or medical condition caused by fluctuations in the biometric data depending on the type of biometric data is already known. Therefore, it is determined whether or not the physical condition or medical condition corresponds to what is known. The time at which the user feels unwell may be set later by the user via the input device 203 instead of the time received by the physical condition receiving unit 305 from the user. In addition, the user may be able to set the contents of the feeling of discomfort later via the input device 203 .

The table creating unit 307 sets a condition that the amount of variation in the measured environmental data associated by the associating unit 306 matches the amount of variation in the acquired environmental data within a certain range, and satisfies this condition. , create a table showing the correspondence between the measured environmental data and the measured biometric data. Furthermore, the table creation unit 307 may include in the table the contents of changes in physical condition perceived by the user in association with the amount of change in the measured environmental data and the amount of change in the measured biological data. Based on the measured environmental data, the measured biological data, and the physical condition data stored in the storage unit 202, correspondence with the measured environmental data that affects the user is determined for each type of measured biological data. Create a table to show For example, based on the measured environmental data, the measured biological data, and the physical condition data stored in the storage unit 202, the table creation unit 307 generates the measured biological data and/or Measured environmental data that adversely affect the physical condition data may be determined and selected, and a table in which these selected data are associated may be created. Whether or not the user's health condition is adversely affected is determined, for example, by setting a threshold value or range for each data item and determining that the user's health condition is adversely affected when the threshold value and/or range are exceeded. The table created by the table creation unit 307 may be stored in the storage unit 202 and the user influence determination unit 303 may refer to the storage unit 202 .

Alternatively, this table may be stored in the storage unit 202 in advance, and the table creation unit 307 may acquire the table from the storage unit 202 . In this case, the table is determined based on information about prior biometric and environmental data.

The table creation unit 307 provides the created or acquired table to the user influence determination unit 303 to determine whether the environmental data acquired by the environment data acquisition unit 301 affects the user's health.

The operation of the measurement facilitating device 100 will be described in detail in an operation example described later. Note that, in this embodiment, the control unit 210 of the measurement prompting device 100 may be realized by a general-purpose CPU. However, some or all of the above operations (or functions) may be implemented by one or more dedicated processors. Also, regarding the configuration of the measurement prompting device 100, omissions, replacements, and additions may be made as appropriate according to the embodiment.

[Operation example: Overall]
Next, an outline of the operation of the measurement prompting device 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the measurement prompting device 100. As shown in FIG. Note that the processing procedure described below is merely an example, and each processing may be changed as much as possible. Further, in the processing procedure described below, steps can be omitted, replaced, or added as appropriate according to the embodiment.

(boot)
First, the user activates the measurement prompting device 100 via the input device 203, and further receives inputs such as settings. Control unit 210 of measurement prompting device 100 proceeds with processing according to the following processing procedure.

(Step S401)
In step S401, control unit 210 operates as environment data acquisition unit 301, acquires the location data of measurement prompting device 100 from GPS receiving unit 208, and determines the location of measurement prompting device 100 (that is, the location of the user) indoors. or outdoors. If it is determined that the user is indoors, the process proceeds to step S402, and if it is determined that the user is not indoors, it is determined that the user is outdoors, and the process proceeds to step S403.

Here, the user wears (or owns) the measurement prompting device 100. For example, the environment data acquisition unit 301 acquires the position data of the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 worn by the user. This location data may be obtained and used. In this case, measurement prompting device 100 acquires position data from wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 via communication interface 201, and environmental data acquisition section 301 determines whether the user is indoors.

Since the position data is preferably the location of the user, the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 is preferable to the measurement prompting device 100 when the user wears the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 . However, if the measurement facilitating device 100 is almost always in one's possession or is always carried in a bag or the like, there is no problem even if the position data of the measurement facilitating device 100 matches the user's position data. For example, since it also depends on whether the accuracy of the GPS receiver is better, the accuracy of the measurement prompting device 100 is better than that of the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120. , the location data is preferably measured by the measurement facilitating device 100 .

(Step S402)
In step S402, the control unit 210 operates as the environment data acquisition unit 301 and acquires indoor environment data from the indoor sensor via the communication interface 201 via Bluetooth. Note that the communication interface 201 may receive data using a communication method other than Bluetooth, or may use another short-range wireless communication method.

(Step S403)
In step S<b>403 , the control unit 210 operates as the environment data acquisition unit 301 and acquires outdoor environment data from the server 130 or the like via an outdoor sensor or the network 140 .
(Step S404)
In step S404, the control unit 210 operates as the user influence determination unit 303, and determines whether the environment data acquired by the environment data acquisition unit 301 adversely affects the user's biological data. If the user effect determination unit 303 determines that the biometric data is not adversely affected, the process returns to step S401, and if it is determined that the biometric data is adversely affected, the process proceeds to step S405. The user influence determination unit 303 determines whether the environmental data acquired by the environmental data acquisition unit 301 satisfies a pre-stored condition indicating that the user's biometric data is susceptible to change. This condition is as described above.

(Step S405)
In step S405, the control unit 210 operates as the instruction unit 304 and instructs the user, via the output device 204, to measure biometric data determined by the user effect determination unit 303 to have an adverse effect.

[Operation example: Table creation]
Next, the outline of the operation of the measurement prompting device 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating an example of a table creation processing procedure for the measurement prompting device 100 . Note that the processing procedure described below is merely an example, and each processing may be changed as much as possible. Further, in the processing procedure described below, steps can be omitted, replaced, or added as appropriate according to the embodiment.

(boot)
First, the user activates the measurement prompting device 100 via the input device 203, and further receives inputs such as settings. Control unit 210 of measurement prompting device 100 proceeds with processing according to the following processing procedure.

(Step S501)
In step S<b>501 , the control unit 210 operates as the physical condition reception unit 305 and acquires the contents of the physical condition of the user (for example, subjective symptoms of the user) via the input device 203 .

(Step S502)
In step S502, the control unit 210 operates as the physical condition receiving unit 305, and determines whether or not the subjective symptoms, which are the contents of the user's physical condition acquired in step S501, are mild. For example, subjective symptoms are selected based on questions to the user and corresponding answers, for example, it is determined whether or not a doctor's examination is necessary, and if it is determined that a doctor's examination is not necessary, it is determined that the subjective symptoms are mild. If not, it is determined that subjective symptoms are not mild. Whether the subjective symptom is mild or not may be determined by the user regardless of this example, and many variations are possible. When the physical condition reception unit 305 determines that the physical condition data is not light, the physical condition reception unit 305 may cause the storage unit 202 to store the physical condition data.

If it is determined in step S502 that the subjective symptom is mild, the process proceeds to step S501, and if it is determined that the subjective symptom is not mild, the process proceeds to step S503.

(Step S503)
In step S503, the control unit 210 operates as the environmental data acquisition unit 301 and the biometric data acquisition unit 302, acquires environmental data and biometric data in conjunction with the period in which the user complained of subjective symptoms, and stores the data in the storage unit 202. stored in

(Step S504)
In step S504, the control unit 210 operates as the association unit 306, associates the amount of change in the measured environmental data with the amount of change in the measured biological data that varies in synchronization with the amount of change in the measured environmental data, It is determined whether or not the amount of variation in the measured environmental data and the measured biological data corresponding to the subjective symptoms of the user is equal to or greater than a threshold value (also abbreviated as TH). Also, instead of making the determination by comparing with a threshold value, the determination may be made by comparing whether it is within a certain appropriate range. Criteria may be determined by nature. For example, when the biological data that has been measured is blood pressure data, it is possible to determine the optimum blood pressure, high blood pressure, and low blood pressure depending on the range of the blood pressure value. If the measured biological data is electrocardiogram data, the shape of the electrocardiogram data may be used for determination. Preferably determined by a threshold value.

The association unit 306 sets a condition that the amount of change in the associated measured environmental data matches the amount of change in the environmental data acquired by the environmental data acquisition unit 301 within a certain range, if the condition is satisfied.

In step S504, if the amount of variation in each of the measured environmental data and the measured biometric data is greater than the threshold, the process proceeds to step S505; otherwise, the process returns to step S501.

(Step S505)
In step S505, the control unit 210 operates as the association unit 306 and associates the measured environmental data and the measured biological data corresponding to the subjective symptom of the user with the subjective symptom. These measured environmental data and measured biometric data are associated with subjective symptoms, including the respective amount of variation. Subjective symptoms may be ranked according to their symptoms, and may be classified, for example, as strong symptoms or weak symptoms.

(Step S506)
At step S506, the control unit 210 operates as the table creation unit 307 and creates a table including the data associated at step S505. This table may be stored by the table creation unit 307, or may be stored in a predetermined area of the storage unit 202, and accessed by the table creation unit 307 to provide the table to the user influence determination unit 303. good too.

The table creating unit 307 shows the correspondence between the type of biometric data and the measured environmental data that affects the user's biometric data that satisfies the above conditions based on the correlation between the measured environmental data and the measured biometric data. Create a table. For example, when the environmental data acquisition unit 301 acquires environmental data similar to the measured environmental data included in the table, the user impact determination unit 303 determines that the acquired environmental data satisfies the conditions. , the instruction unit 304 instructs to measure the corresponding biometric data indicated by the table.

[Action and effect]
As described above, the measurement prompting device 100 of the present embodiment selects appropriate environmental data from an indoor sensor or an outdoor sensor (and/or a server storing outdoor data) depending on whether the user is indoors in step S401. can be obtained. Then, in step S404, it is determined whether or not the amount of change in the environmental data has an adverse effect on the user. can be measured. Therefore, by referring to the environmental data and biometric data, the user can help manage his/her own health. In addition, the measurement prompting device 100 of the embodiment enables the user to recognize in advance what kind of environmental changes he or she should be aware of. Furthermore, it notifies the user that the user's biometric data is susceptible to environmental changes, and indicates to the user which environment should be changed.

It is possible to determine whether or not the amount of environmental data fluctuation has an adverse effect, and to measure only the necessary biometric data. It is expected that useful data and biological data will be measured more often, and useless data will be reduced, so that the resources of the storage unit 202 can be used effectively. In addition, since the biometric data is measured when it is determined after judging whether or not it is a fluctuation amount of the environmental data that has an adverse effect, wasteful measurement is eliminated, and the number of biometric data measurements of the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to reduce failure of the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120, decrease in power supply, and consumption of cuffs and electrodes.

Furthermore, according to the procedure shown in FIG. 5, it is possible to create a table that is useful when the user influence determination unit 303 makes a determination, and the user influence determination unit 303 detects an abnormality in the variation in the user's biometric data based on the amount of variation in the environmental data. It becomes possible to properly determine whether there is a Further, when useful data is accumulated and learned in the storage unit 202 or the table creation unit 307, the contents of this table can be refined and the accuracy of the determination by the user influence determination unit 303 can be further improved. become.

<1>
The example of the processing procedure in FIG. 5 is the processing when the physical condition reception unit 305 receives the contents of the physical condition. , and the table creating unit 307 may create a table that associates the environmental data with the biometric data. For example, a table is created based on past measured environmental data and biological data. In addition, the user determines whether or not the instruction to measure the biometric data from the instruction unit 304 is appropriate, the data input by the user via the input device 203 is stored in the storage unit 202, and based on this data The reliability of the association between environmental data and biometric data may be stored, and the table creation unit 307 may create a table based on this reliability. Alternatively, the user influence determination unit 303 may refer to only a table in which highly reliable environmental data and biometric data are associated with each other. Whether or not the reliability is high is judged to be high when, for example, the proportion of responses from users saying that it is reliable is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. In addition, the user's subsequent medical history etc. may be fed back, and the reliability may be determined from the relationship between the biometric data and the medical condition. high).

Although not shown, the wristwatch-type wearable terminal 120 and/or the measurement facilitator 100 may include acceleration sensors, pressure sensors, gyro sensors, and/or geomagnetic sensors.

The acceleration sensor is a sensor that detects acceleration, for example, a three-axis acceleration sensor, and detects acceleration of the sensor with respect to three linearly independent axes (for example, three axes perpendicular to each other). The acceleration sensor then outputs acceleration signals representing accelerations in three directions to control unit 210 . The acceleration sensor can obtain the roll angle and the pitch angle from the value of the acceleration at rest.

A pressure sensor is a common device that detects pressure. For example, a pressure sensor can detect a user's altitude by measuring air pressure.

A gyro sensor is a general one capable of detecting the angular velocity of the sensor, for example, a three-axis gyro sensor that detects the angular velocity of the sensor with respect to three linearly independent axes. The gyro sensor outputs angular velocity signals representing angular velocities in three directions to control unit 210 .

A geomagnetic sensor is common and is used to determine a user's attitude. The geomagnetic sensor is, for example, a triaxial geomagnetic sensor, and detects the strength of the geomagnetism around the sensor with respect to three axes including direction and strength (magnitude).

The control unit 210 obtains the angle by integrating the angular velocity from the user's initial posture information using a method of correcting the error due to the drift in the angular velocity obtained from the gyro sensor from the information of the acceleration sensor and the geomagnetic sensor. , the attitude angle for each sensor at the desired elapsed time from the initial time may be obtained. The initial attitude can be obtained from the roll angle and pitch angle by an acceleration sensor. The yaw angle can be determined using a geomagnetic sensor.

The control unit 210 calculates the three-dimensional component of the magnetic field with the tilt error corrected from the three-dimensional component of the magnetic field obtained by the geomagnetic sensor and the previously obtained roll angle and pitch angle. The yaw angle can be calculated from the x-component and y-component of the three-dimensional components of the magnetic field corrected for the tilt error. For example, when the user moves from the initial posture, the angular velocity is time-integrated to obtain the angle, and the posture angle of each sensor at an arbitrary time can be obtained from the initial posture and the elapsed time.
